My walls are just screwed directly onto the wooden stud. However, as I have 8'6 ceilings and the studs come in 8' lengths, there was a more fun way that the walls connect to the ceiling joists. If you look at the first two photo's, you can see that I used a metal track both top and bottom and then put on a small connection stud to tie the top track to the ceiling. I figure that way the walls are pretty much isolated from the ceiling and sound will not transmit.

I've gotten a bit farther in the room as all the sub floor is now done and I am 1/4 the way though laying the engineered hardwood. Its the oppressive heat and humidity that is dragging the build now. Can only work so long before I start to feel ill.
